#daverubin — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Political wonks I used to follow but stopped following, and why:

#MiloYiannopoulos - Antagonistic, unhinged and potentially bad faith

#StevenCrowder - Factual inaccuracies then, now mistreating his staff and wife

#JacksonHinkle - Pro #Russia propaganda, bad faith

#TheMajorityReport’s #SamSeder - Bad faith, manipulation via framing and misinformtion

#JennaEllis - Continuing to fight over the 2020 election despite the fact that it happened long ago, potential conspiracy theorist

#BenShapiro - Neocon

#CarolineKwan - Bad faith, poorly informed

#MichaelSavage - Racist, homophobic (legitimately, not in the cucked sense of the word)

#AllieBethStuckey - Conspiracy theorist and pseudoscientific misinformation

#OfficerTatum - Calling a black person a “gorilla”

#Destiny - Supporting political violence

#SteveDeace - Supporting and associating with #Christian nationalist #JackHibbs

#DaveRubin - Joking and gloating about the attack against #PaulPelosi

I also stopped following #TimPool for a bit after #AdamCrigler exposed him for cheating on his GF with #Sourpatchlyds, who had (and still has!) a husband at the time and mistreating his staff, although his commentary is good so I’ve started watching #TimcastIRL again

I also stopped following #JackPosobiec because he was off about something (I forget what it was). I now check out his tweets here and there, but don’t use him as an authoritative primary source for anything.
